Definitions
- the present invention relates to graphene as an X-ray tube cathode, and more particularly to a high efficiency graphene cathode field emission X-ray tube.
- X-ray tubes are devices mainly used for medical diagnosis and treatment, and are used in industrial technology for non-destructive testing of materials, structural analysis, spectral analysis, and film exposure. X-rays are harmful to humans and must be protected during use.
- An X-ray tube is a vacuum electronic device that uses high-speed electrons to strike a gold-emitting target surface to generate X-rays.
- Conventional X-ray tubes generally use a hot electron emission cathode to heat materials such as tungsten and lanthanum hexaboride to a temperature high enough to allow some electrons with large kinetic energy to escape the surface barrier of the object and form a book plasma around the material.
- an external electric field is applied, electron beam emission is formed.
- the X-ray tube consumes a large amount of energy and has low efficiency.
- the efficiency of converting electric energy into X-rays is less than 1%, and a considerable part of the scattered light is present, and most of the electric energy is converted into heat. It requires a large current and is resistant to high temperatures.
- Field emission does not require cathode heating, using a strong electric field to cause electrons near the surface of the object to emit electrons through the surface barrier.
- the performance of field emission depends on the energy band structure of the material, the work function and the surface structure of the material;
- the electron-emitting source has the advantages of high emission density, low energy consumption, and quick start-up.

- the high-efficiency graphene cathode field emission X-ray tube of the present invention uses graphene as a cathode (electron emission source) of an X-ray tube, a graphene specific band structure and a quasi-SP3 state, thereby generating a negative electron affinity.
- graphene as a cathode (electron emission source) of an X-ray tube, a graphene specific band structure and a quasi-SP3 state, thereby generating a negative electron affinity.
- the large curvature of the graphene film leads to the formation of a high-density electronic local distribution, which enhances the local field, making it easier for electrons to escape from the surface, making the material have excellent electron field emission capability, graphite.
- the electrons of the olefin electron source are emitted from the top edge of the material (as shown in Figure 5), with good directionality, uniformity, easy focus, and a proportional increase in the ratio of X-rays to heat generated by the electron flow bombarding the anode.
- the proportion of hot cathode is less than 1%), less secondary electrons and stray scattering lines, improve X-ray tube efficiency;
- Graphene is prepared by high temperature chemical vapor phase process, reasonable catalytic medium selection, temperature parameter control, strict mixed gas Proportion, and RF and plasma book control, grown on a nickel substrate at a high temperature of 1400, while undergoing strict Laser ablation, electron bombardment, plasma post-bombardment treatment, the graphene cathode having a high resistance to pressure (greater than 150KV), stability, long life.

- FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the overall structure of a high efficiency graphene cathode field emission X-ray tube according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic structural view of a cathode assembly of the present invention
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the cathode of the present invention taken along line A-A;
- Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of the vacuum glass tube of the present invention.
- Figure 5 is a photograph of electrons from a graphene electron source emitting light from the top edge of the material.
- the high-efficiency graphene cathode field emission X-ray tube of the present invention is characterized in that the graphene cathode is used as an electron emission source in the cathode assembly and sealed together with the anode assembly, using the characteristics of good field emission performance of the graphene cathode.
- the graphene emits electrons through a high voltage between the anode and the cathode, and electrons are bombarded with the anode target at a high speed in a certain direction to generate X-rays under the action of the cathode cover focusing and the anode high voltage.
